A Look Back.......

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves how far we have come.  Every October I attend a candle light vigil at the very shelter that me and my kids entered when I left my abuser.  We honor those who have survived and remember those who have lost the battle to domestic violence.  I enjoy it because I get to see my advocate that I had while in shelter.  She was my rock and my support through one of the hardest times of my life.  She calls me her success story but I don't know if I would of been a success had it not been for her compassion and dedication to help me and my kids.  She will always hold a special place in my heart.  On the most recent visit she gave me an envelope with this  article.   It seems like so many light years ago.  As I always say to be successful in the future we must remember where we came from.
